nations he not only learns the progress
of crops under different conditions, but
he also discovers, at an early period,
the presence of an d or new enemy.
Many crops have been nearly ruined be-.
cause of a neglect to watch the coming
of an enemy, and many a field has been
overrun by weeds because the owner
has neglected to keep over it a watchful
eye; many crops have been greatly re-
duced in value because for the want OF
observation it has been permitted to
over-ripen. In fact, in whatever stage
of growth a crop may be, it demands
a constant watchfulness, and the closer
the observation the greater will be the
power to prevent failure and insure
success. N Y. Observer.

NYE MEETS AN INNOCENT
Who Talks Evolution With One Hand
and Steals With the Other.

and Steals With the Other.
Socrates never uttered wiser or more per-
tinent maxim than this: "There is more than
one way to remove the cuticle of the cat"
1 was riding on the evening train, the other
day my Mctive brain keeping time to the
clinkety-olack of its wheels over the rail
joints, the steady rumble of the train and
the wall of the whistle at the crossings, when
slender young man who had got aboard at
the station two miles back came in and took
a seat by me He rose again, went back
along the car with his eye on the other seats
until he saw deserted conductors slip stick
ing in the window sill He came back, sat
down by me, stuck the slip in his hat, and in
two minutes was sound asleep The con-
ductor came in glanced over the people and
took a fare here and there, but got over the
crowd without mailing the slumbering young
man with the pink slip in his hat. When he
had gone back the young man awoke with a
wild start, took drink from cooler, and
sat down with me again. l drew him into
conversation, and found that he had been
over the country good deal, but never in
the capacity Of a sweat producer He said
that lis father died from overwork, and
made him promise, ere he died, that he
would not die in that manner.
He assured me that he had kept the prom
ise he made to his dying father and had thus
far escaped death from overwork
He had travelled in many capacities and
bad Iectured also. He had delivered a series
of lectures on Darwinism, evolution, the
struggle for existence, and the survival of the
fftest, But he had lost faith in it all, and
quit at last.
We cannot believe in the survival of the
fttest, said he, "fOr if we did we would soon
see the earth populated by tailors, and the
good tailOrs would survive the poor tailors,
being fittest to survive. In the struggle for
existence the strong butter would Overtalze
and destroy the weak. and thus we would
have at last only the strong; but such is not
the case. Look at the coffee we get at the
railroad eating houses. No, there are many
reasons why I am not a believer in any of
these theories" he said 1nusingly, as he upset
his celuloid cuffs and buttoned them to the
lining of his coat sleeves. Il have rmmaged

The researches of Professor Won Petzold,
Karsten Weber, and others have proved that
the number of damaging strokes of lightning
has considerably increased during the last
fifty years, and this increase can not be
explained by the theory that, owing to the
growing number of houses. factories, etc.
the numbS Of lightning strokes increased
prOportiona ely; t. ~ contrary, this num-
Der ought to decrease, as every building,
even when not protected by a lightnin2rod,
effects an equilibrium of the opposite cleo
trio potentias, and, the efore, the number
Of lightning strokes ought relatively to de-
crease with the relative number OF Luild-
ings This, indeed, is proved by the fact
that in the space of one year among 10000
buildings there occurred but thirteen ctses
of lightning strokes in cities, against twenty
three strokes on buildings in the country.
We, therefore, have to take this ma. ural phe-
nomeno-. from another point OF view, and
to consider the ratio of damaging OF other
strokes to the number OF buildings in a GER
tain district This ratio, called by Ger

three similar crimes committed in that section
within few months. Tom Smothers, herculean
negro was arrested for the last Of these o1enses,
and sentenced TO thirty years in the penitentary,
Jones was arrested soon after the crime was COM
mitted by Lieut.. Kelys officers but released; sub
Sequently he was re-aTeSted, and held for trial
He was defended by Moses E. A. Newman and "A.
